When you're ginger and your assumed parents are both dark haired but you don't give a fuck what people are whispering at school.
Kevin: Nora I have to tell you something
Nora: What is it Kevin
Kevin: I killed Patti (well actually she killed herself in front of me but you know that's how I feel and so all I'm telling you is I killed her)
Nora: Oh, alrighty, it's fine
///
Kevin: I keep seeing Patti
Nora: omg this is too much I just can't Kevin I leave you
Come on, Lindelof
Wow, speechless. The quality of acting is just plain brilliant.
shame young Helena wasn't played by the same actress playing Charlotte
This is the best so far
Enjoyable? Yes. Dispensable? Absolutely. Almost 6 hours of excellent acting that we kind of could do without. Writing missteps undermine the performances so much that these, even if technically flawless, seem to have lost that emotional punch from the first season. Not everything is bad. I especially appreciated the nuanced portrayal of grief from an abused woman in which is arguably the only storyline that did require the look at the aftermath the show touted. Renata having more presence is nice to have, and clearly the writers dully noted the sensation it sparked two years ago. But the Bonnie storyline is messy and at times wretched, the arrival of her mother and specially this being some sort of clairvoyant were pure filler scenes. Court scenes demand a leap of faith that legal dramas fans may not want to take. Somehow other characters (Ed) have more screentime and depth but end up feeling more vacuous than ever.
Overall, it's a bumpy ride that may only be worth it for the pleasure of seeing so many stars on the set, as some sort of one-in-a-lifetime supergroup concert that we're almost to lucky to witness. Too bad the script wasn't on a par with them this time.
Okay so I used to disagree with the Piper haters, but now I'm starting to think her character is really dispensable. Not that she annoys me for the moment, but when her plot lines start to be boring, she'll be a problem.
wow nice special effects inspired by windows media player
I don't see why they'd obey her, she had no way to force them...
Didn't like the way they put Piper and her together, we hardly see the evolution of Piper getting tired of Alex paranoia. Plus, removing Vee just to introduce another villain like Lolly, not cool. Bring Nicky back!!
All the emotional implication I was expecting and didn't have so much with 2x08 is here. It's such a journey of episode, I connected 100% and even had to stop the episode at times because it was too much going on, even though this is not some high concept plot or anything but the exact opposite, this is life. And it's so well depicted. That pharmacy scene... wow. Really some chemistry between these two.
The previous episodes were quite convincing, exemplary even. I found this to be unfittingly sensationalist, with a taste for dramatics. For me question is not necessarily whether to show or not show, but rather how to show it, because if you do it wrong you will suffer from that Handmaid's Tale syndrome. So the dogs scenes, I don't oppose them by nature, but it's your narrative devices that can give you away if you go for a too-on-the-nose staging. If they warn the boy about missing the mark and leaving the dogs in agony it's a bit frustrating that's exactly what happens. The puppies thing was a bit too much, in an annoying way, because of course they had to do it. Same (even worse) with that 'volunteer' and the orders not to gaze at the reactor or the perils of stumbling. It's not that is unrealistic, it could very well have happened and makes sense, but it comes across as weak writing and makes you more aware of the string of catastrophic, explicit scenes you've being showed. It's not that we need to know what happens if they stumble on the roof, we would probably have screamed the same if we weren't told, at least in such a nagging way. At least they restrained from showing the dying baby.
Is it me or Claire Foy polishes even more her accent (or she does it in a slightly different way) compared to the previous episode? She´s just otherworldly amazing
Watched almost the 13 episodes in a row. To me, it's way better than Season 2
I'd say best episode in the show so far
The main case was just brilliant, but
1) How could the father know the password of Jax's computer
and specially 2) How the hell is it possible that a firm can question its employees about who they voted for
My god that was the hell of a ride
The price of going deeper and deeper in the main plot and introducing the male clones is having to isolate the other characters, in a way. S and Kira out gone away, Helena's been incarcerated for 4 episodes, whose only purpose has been to show how Castor works, Rachel's been injured for the same time and hasn't recovered yet, Alison seems to be in Desperate Housewives and now Cosima is trying this Tinder-like app. And, yet, this show ROCKS.
So far best episode ever
As a fan of The Good Wife, I'm not sure that was the best questioning. Zoë Kravitz is really a good actor, even if I'm not digging her storyline. Best part of the episode is Renata at the auction. Undoubtedly.
My god What a masterpiece.
Lynch is just great here
This was a very adorable episode (bit predictable, like most of the series). I loved Jeppe on this one.
Um, I actually liked it
I am really, really disturbed by this. And not by all the emotional scenes (which are all of them). I mean, surely, it's one of the most riveting episodes yet but when analysing this last twist coldly I am not satisfied. Now they fancy eugenics? Now Susan is the good one just because she saw the light after doing such terrible things? And I don't think Evie's motivations are well shown either. She really has no reason to end the original. So although it certainly was an intense episode, I'm not sure I like where things are going
I think the whole episode was brilliant... and that ending... No one saw that coming.
Definitely one of the best episodes so far. The indoors scenes gave me chills and the cast is so great you can almost feel the cold they're exposed to.
My guess is Shay is a neolucionist! There's nothing to it!!
Look beyond the steamy scenes. They make for great marketing but this is a superb movie with an honest, if tongue-in-cheek, look at faith. It's been ages since a movie made me feel so much, so many. The power-play, the dialogues, the B-series look that prevents it from veering too much to pretentiousness, and a heartfelt take at what the price of subverting the rules is. Epic, absurd, unfathomable.
